Raise $100 quickly asking twenty people f $5.00 each, ten people f $10.00 each f EB research, every dollar counts! Ask friends and family f a donation instead of a birthday, wedding graduation gift. Ask your employer to match the funds you raise. Do a little fundraising every day it adds up and get the kids involved this is a great opptunity to teach them about compassion and charity! Change your answering machine message to promote your fundraiser and in the message ask callers to check out www.mywalkamile.g Tell EVERYONE you know, and ASK, ASK, ASK f them to participate the #1 reason people do not participate is because they aren t ASKED to do so. Any contributions you receive should be fwarded to a legal nonprofit EB charity. We recommend any of the DEBRA ganizations (see www.debrainternational.g f a list of ALL of the DEBRA ganizations) EB Medical Research Foundation (www.ebkids.g).
